Publisher's summary

In this stand-alone sequel to The Extra, Anna-Marie has never wanted to find love - but love’s about to find her.

Anna-Marie Halsey loves her job as a regular on the soap opera Southern Heat almost as much as she loves living the LA lifestyle: clubbing and partying and casually dating gorgeous men - most recently powerhouse agent Josh Rios. When Anna-Marie starts feeling more-than-casual about Josh - her signature cue to break things off - she finds a much-needed excuse to get away: a family reunion in small-town Wyoming.

In Wyoming, Anna-Marie remembers why she’s spent years avoiding her crazy family and claustrophobic hometown - and her ex-boyfriend, up-and-coming rock musician Shane Beckstrom, provides the perfect distraction. But when a Boy Scout troop films them nude in a hot spring, Anna-Marie finds Wyoming even more nerve-wracking than her paralyzing fear of commitment. To make matters worse, Josh Rios appears, and it’s clear that commitment is exactly what he’s hoping for. Anna-Marie isn’t sure what she wants, but being trapped in Everett, Wyoming, with Josh, Shane, and her crazy family when her impromptu sex-tape hits the internet sure isn’t it.

The Girlfriend Stage is book two in The Extra series, but it stands alone, and can be listened to first, without missing anything except the backgrounds of the side characters. It features PG-13 rated sexual content, no cliff-hanger, and a swoon-worthy happily ever after.

Girlfriend

This book had some laugh out loud moments which caused you to look forward to more mishaps in all their lives. The only part I didn’t like was the voices of the men. They sounded wimpy and not soothingly man.

nerve wrecking

Anna really bothered my nerves. She just had so much going on. All her feelings and and insecurities just made it hard to love this book.

A bit too much

I could not listen to this book in its entirety because of the female narrators voice. It was too much whining, then again the female lead had too many issues and needed therapy instead of trying to be in a relationship

Realistic Love Story

The good, among other things:
For once, the physical perfection of the 2 main protagonists has some basis in reality — the entertainment industry;
The Halseys are a strange, mixed bunch that actually grows — individually and collectively;
The less-than-good:
Josh’s voice could have been cast with a bit lower vocal timbre (but he grew on me…);
Anna-Marie’s acting was a disconnect from the terrific-ness that was alluded to throughout (getting more melodramatic as time progressed);
BUT…picky, picky…I enjoyed the book from start to finish!

Too many bad choices

What can I say, I thought I would like this book…I did enjoy the previous one. This story however was awful. The main character always makes the worst choices, very unbelievable to say the least. The other portion is that the narrator seemed to be screaming throughout the story. I gave up at 1/2 way through the story…just made me aggravated.

You Must Be Crazy to Finish

How can anyone finish this book without being either crazy or a glutton for punishment. For some reason this was so terrible and immature that I started liking it against my will and it did have a happy ending. The female performance was much better than the males but the male character was clearly the best and gave you hope throughout.
